Tanakeah and Serathin go to the Raven's factory in order to try and pick up a great deal on a rubber suit or something of that nature that they couldn't normally afford, only to realize that a clerical error on their part has made them arrived far too late for the sale! Not all hope is lost though as their dejected nature is caught by the avian owner himself who always wants to make sure that everyone who enters the Factory is satisfied...

It was almost seven in the evening and the sun was just starting to set behind the city skyline as the cobra and hybrid walked down the sidewalk. Their destination was clear, the street leading to the massive building that was the Raven's Factory. Ever since the two had heard that the creator of such magnificent rubber works was having a very large sale on all the stock in his showcase they had been attempting to save up as much money as possible to get one of his amazing creations. It was clear that they weren't the only ones that were ready to save as they had to park nearly three blocks away just so they could get a spot.

"Maybe we should have gotten here earlier..." Tana said as they walked past the line of cars on the street while they headed towards their destination. "I know that we're an hour early but I bet some of these people have probably been here all night just waiting to get in. People are crazy like that."

"This is true," Serathin replied with a chuckle. "But we weren't going to beat those people anyway and the majority of people don't come more than an hour before the sale actually starts. Not to mention the fact that Raven's Factory wasn't going to be open until that time probably will keep people from coming early too since they're going to be waiting in a hot parking lot."

The cobra just nodded and took one more look at his watch while continuing to walk. When they turned the corner and get into the lot their jaws dropped slightly when they saw the doors were very much open. Not only that but people were coming out with all manner of rubber gear that wasn't supposed to be on sale for another hour. The two picked up their pace and got to the doors of the storeroom to find that it was very busy with all kinds of people fawning over the display pieces. It was extremely perplexing... at least until Tana managed to find a flyer that had been posted and showed the draconic sabrewolf the text on it.

"Seven... a.m?" Serathin said, squinting at the paper as though it would change the time as a frown formed behind his saber teeth. "Crap..."

"Would explain why the doors are open and all the people inside," the cobra replied as he looked around with a sigh as well. "So instead of being an hour early we're now eleven hours behind, but there might still be some good stuff left. Let's just look around and see if there's something we would like that maybe was overlooked."

Though the two had attempted to remain optimistic when they started to look around it was clear that it was misplaced. Almost all the big-ticket items that had been on sales, like suits and advanced technology, were either already off the shelves or they had been reserved for someone to pick up. The only things left were items that only had a small reduction in price, which made them way out of their range, or bargain bin stuff like masks, cuffs, and other accessories that they either already had or weren't looking for. Though the sales floor was huge they were increasingly disappointed to the point that they had gotten to the back of the room completely empty-handed.

Their frowns had not gone unnoticed however, and as they went over to a larger display section that was mostly empty the two suddenly found they were not alone. "It's rare that I see such frowns in my shop," the voice said, both Tana and Serathin looking in surprise at the raven suddenly perched next to them. "Is there anything perhaps that I can do in order to help you? There's nothing I hate more than having dissatisfied customers."

"Oh... Mr. Raven!" Serathin said once they had recovered from the fact that they were talking to the owner of the Factory. "It's my fault really, my friend and I had heard about the sale and we've been wanting to get something from you for some time. We actually pooled our money together and everything but when I looked at the flyer initially I misread the time and put it into my calendar wrong."

"That is quite the shame," Raven replied as he glanced over at the dwindling crowd. "There was quite the rush here this morning when we opened the door so unfortunately your error was quite costly."

"Yeah..." Tana interjected. "Really sucks, was hoping that there was one of those plant-based rubber suits we could get." When the cobra realized that he was musing out loud he quickly glanced between the two before grinning sheepishly. "I mean we were just looking for something exotic, a full suit that would normally be out of our price range that we could possibly afford together with the discounts going on."

"So, you're looking for something of our plant-based latex line," the Raven said, a musing tone in his noise. "How much had you managed to budget in for one of these suits, if you don't mind me asking." For the next few minutes the three talked about the budget of the cobra and the draconic sabrewolf, as well as their schedule. While they weren't sure where it was going the two were completely honest with the owner of the factory they were currently standing in.

There was a gleam in the bird's eye as he seemed to look over the two of them intently, then gave a nod. "You know, I can see that you two are really interested," Raven continued as he motioned with his wing over to one of the doors near the back of the showcase room. "Why don't you go ahead and have a seat in that room over there, perhaps there is something to make those dreams of yours come true. I hope that you don't mind a little bit of a wait."

Both Tana and Serathin quickly shook their heads and went over to the room that had been specified by the bird. Inside was a fairly standard waiting room; a pair of rubber couches sat on opposite sides of the wall with a large table in the middle of it, along with a few snack machines and a television that was mostly talking about the latest promotional items that The Factory was offering. There were also some catalogues that were sitting there as well, Tana grabbing one and flipping through it while Serathin looked over what kind of drinks were offered in the machines. Though neither of them spoke to one another they both knew what the other was thinking, wondering what the Raven possibly had in store for them.

It wasn't that they were nervous about what might be in store for them, even though they heard rumors of things that have happened to people in the factory, instead they were excited. While they didn't know what the Raven was thinking it appeared that he might be sympathetic to their plight and possibly let them get in on some sort of future deal, or maybe a reserved item that fell through. Though they knew that some of the gear would be outside of their price range even on sale they could potentially put what they had saved as a down payment and get on a plan for the rest. As Serathin bought an energy drink and sat down in the rubber cushion they both started to discuss the various items in the catalogue that Tana had been looking through.

Just as they were about to switch over to a line that was exclusively for aquatic gear the door opened, but not the one they had gone through initially. It was one that led into the factory itself and the two shot one another a look of excitement as the guard that had opened the door motioned for them to follow. They had initially thought they were going to be going through the storeroom and leaving empty handed, something that might have happened even if they got there on time, but now they were being led into the Factory itself! The two were practically giddy as they were led past various windows that showed the inner workings of the factory with all the shiny rubber that it created.

They both walked quite some time before they got to another door, this one made of a high-quality steel that looked like it belonged on a bank vault. When Tana asked what could potentially be behind the door that required such security there was no answer from the rubber creature. Just as the cobra was about to ask again Serathin reminded him that guards were not able to speak, the lenses of the gasmask glinting as it turned back to look at them briefly before going to the door once more. They watched as he punched in the code and turned the rather large wheel in the middle of it before pulling it open.

The two immediately were hit by a woodsy scent, the smell of musk, rubber, and sage rolling over them as the concrete and steel of the factory were replaced with wood and plants. As they made their way further inside it didn't take long to see it wasn't ordinary flora, all of them with an unnatural shine to their forms as they walked towards the Raven that sat perched on a small latex branch watching them. "Welcome to my garden," the Raven introduced as he once more stretched out his wing to gesture towards all the trees and plants behind him. "This is where I keep those plant-based suits that you were lusting after."

"Oh... ha ha, of course," the cobra replied with a sheepish grin. "So, do you have something back here that's for sale?"

"Not quite," Raven replied. "You should count yourself lucky, there are not many that are allowed back in my guard that can get here under their own power. The reason that you're here is because I have a new experimental suit design that I would like to test; since you two are curious on my plant-based rubber I think that this would be right up your alley, and if you like the final product then I will even take your hard work to entitle a discount should you want to keep the final product."

"Really?" Serathin said in surprise. "You're actually going to let us test your new product?"

"Indeed," Raven stated with a wry grin.

"And if we like it we can keep it?" Tanakeah asked. "What would be the payment?"

"Don't worry about that," Raven stated as he fluttered back towards the door and landed on the shoulder of the guard that had still been standing there in the entrance. "I suggest that you go and enjoy yourselves, if you decide to keep the product you find we can do the paperwork and other accommodations. While all the plants here have been implemented with this new technology there are a few different variations of it depending on your... preferences. Enjoy!"

Before the two could ask anything Tana and Serathin watched the guard and bird disappear and the door closed behind them. The cobra and hybrid looked at one another, then at the expanse filled with rubber plants that stretched out before them. While they were still excited at the prospect of what was about to happen, they weren't sure what they were supposed to do. The only instruction they had from the Raven was to go out and enjoy themselves, and with nothing else they decided to wander around and try to figure it out themselves.

The garden itself was beautiful; there was no artificial light and the only illumination came from the glowing rubber plants that surrounded them. It caused the nearby flowers and vines to glisten with their unnatural hue as they walked around and looked around at the plants and trees that surrounded them. It quickly became apparent that these weren't your typical trees either, besides their luster the two could see humanoid shapes pushing their way out of the plants and a few of the shapes even seemed to wiggle as they walked forward. It was certainly what they envisioned inside a garden that was owned by the Raven.

The two were so enthralled with the sights around them that they didn't even realize that they had somehow gotten separated until Tana turned around and found the draconic sabrewolf was no longer next to him. He swore he had only taken his eyes off the hybrid for a second to look at these strange, semi-translucent multi-hued mushrooms, the cobra scratching his head as he tried to see if he could find his friend again. When it appeared he was truly alone he just shrugged and decided to take a closer look at what he had been previously investigating.

As he touched the top of one of the mushrooms the latex surface quivered like jelly, like they were filled with gel instead of rubber as Tana gave them a few pokes. When it looked like nothing else would happen he just was about to move on through the garden to try and find his friend before he noticed something out of the corner of the eye that caused him to pause. It was a mushroom that was larger than the rest and it seemed to be pulsating like a heartbeat. He treaded further into the field of latex fungi in order to investigate it more closely and when he got within a few feet he saw that a spore pod had grown out of the cap and looked like it was ready to burst.

Tanakeah carefully stepped his way past the caps of the mushroom, which became more difficult the further he went in, and watched as the stalks bent towards him. He knew enough rumors about Raven and his Factory to make sure that he didn't get too close to the somewhat sentient rubber fungi. With agile precision he avoided them easily and once he had gotten close enough he was able to see the spore pod in greater detail. It looked less like a bulb and more like some sort of air bag with a sprayer nozzle at the end of it.

When the cobra was about to start circling the fungi he got to see it in action, though definitely not in the way he had imagined as the sprayer pod shifted downwards until it pointed straight at him. Before he could say or do anything the latex bubble quickly expanded outwards before collapsing in on itself and blasted him with the contents. Tana nearly fell backwards as his face and head was suddenly covered with a shiny clear liquid that immediately began to tighten. As he breathed in more of the rubber spores the substance on his face immediately began to shift, feeling it stretch over his maw that he tried to open it only to find the thick film restricting him.

It didn't take long for the rubber on Tana's face to spread around it, particularly around his nostrils to allow him to breathe and away from his eyes so he could see. When he was able to open his eyelids again what he saw caused them to widen, looking out at the field of rubber mushrooms he had just passed. Their rainbow-hued latex had swollen into a sprayer just like the one that had shot the liquid into his face. He could see that nearly a dozen of them already had fully-formed sprayer pods on their caps while others were swelling as he watched. Had this been a trap all along, Tana said to himself as he looked back and forth for a potential way out as the rubber on his face began to slide down his neck.

When it was clear he was surrounded the cobra could do the only thing that came to his mind to do, he made a run for the edge of the field. It was clear that the latex fungi weren't going to let him go that easily and began to spray him with the rubber spores, two of them getting direct hits on his legs and chest as the substance immediately stuck to his scales. It didn't take long to get sprayed a few more times to the point where his legs were starting to stick together, making it difficult to move forwards as his vision began to spin. Soon it wasn't just the mushrooms that were swirling with color; everywhere he looked the air seemed to shimmer with different hues as it became harder and harder to concentrate.

Tana made it about half way through the field before he found himself on his knees and falling onto his hands. The sticky rubber spores had effectively made it nearly impossible for him to move forward anymore and the longer it maintained contact with him the more lightheaded he got. He could feel the mushrooms spraying more of the latex onto his body and it began to mold to him, forming a skintight suit just like he and Serathin had wanted in the first place.

As more of the rubber continued to coat against the cobra's body his mind had become so glazed over with pleasure he didn't realize that several multihued mushrooms directly underneath him had formed tendrils of rubber on the ends of their pods instead of sprayer nozzles. While the spore-infused latex continued to coat over Tana's body these tendrils made their way to his exposed tailhole and maw, the ooze having dissolved away his clothing for quite some time now. Being on his hands and knees it wasn't much of a stretch to push their way up towards his open orifices and soon Tana began to feel something pressing against the rubber stretched over his snout. When he tried to close his mouth he found the rubber interfering with it as the tentacles pushed past the membrane and slid against his tongue.

Already the plant rubber spreading over his scales had caused Tana to become intensely excited and as one set of tendrils began to spread open his tailhole another group wrapped around his rubber-covered member. One of the sprayers had been keen to make sure his groin had been covered in its entirety and when every inch of his length shined in the light the other tentacles quickly wrapped around it to provide additional stimulation. The latex-covered cobra had become so focused on the pleasure coming from it that he hardly recognized that he had been penetrated from both ends until he felt them push deeper into both his tailhole and throat.

As he felt the vines inside him get thicker with every inch penetrating him Tana didn't even see that within the multihued rubber something had been shifting inside the appendages. Once he felt them wiggling deep in his throat and backside, the one in his tailhole nearly making him go cross-eyed from the stimulation, a bulge formed at the base of the pod they were connected to that quickly traveled upwards. He was so enthralled by the spores being pumped through his system his mind didn't even register that something was coming his way through them. It wasn't until those bulges hit his orifices that the cobra's eyes practically bulged out as he felt a surge of pure blissful sensation he hadn't experienced before.

It only took two more of those rubber bulges to flow into Tana, his throat bulging with whatever the tendrils inside were supplying him with, until he was brought to orgasm. The cobra's entire body practically shook with force of it and as his entire body trembled it seemed to have an effect on the rubber on him as well. He suddenly found his legs able to move again and his head becoming clear once more, though his brain was still buzzing with euphoria that made it hard to concentrate as he stood up. When he did the tendrils slid out of his body, falling and lying limply on the ground before retracting into the deflated spore pods.

As soon as the cobra's thoughts caught up with him he quickly moved the rest of the way out of the mushroom field, though it appeared that all of the sprayers had deposited their latex liquid onto his body. Once he was clear of the latex fungi he had a chance to look down at himself and what he saw caused him to gasp slightly in awe. The clear rubber had completely covered his body and as he watched he could see that the coloration of his scales had started to leech into it and give it a blue hue. As he flexed his body to watch how the latex moved with his body it definitely had the appearance of being painted on but with the thickness that came with a regular body suit that covered him head to toe.

"I want wait to show Serathin and Raven this..." Tana said with a slightly drunken grin on his face, the effects of the spore-laden latex still showing as he swayed his head from side to side while his rubber hands stroked up and down his similarly covered body. "Where did that silly sabrewolf go anyway. Man this feels sooooo gooooood..."

Meanwhile in another part of the garden Serathin continued to walk around and look at all the different variety of plants that were around him. Everything was exactly what he would expect in a garden run by a place like the Factory, and yet at the same time he found himself completely in awe as well. "I can't believe what that bird has managed to create here," Serathin said as he looked at one particular flower that looked like a pinwheel. "Hey Tana, do you think that he grows these or molds them and then sets them out here like one of those fake plant things?"

When there was no response Serathin looked behind himself to see there was no one there, realizing for the first time that he was completely alone in the garden. When did that happen, he wondered as he turned his way back towards the way he had originally been facing and continued forward. The only reason he had gone in this direction in the first place was because he thought he had seen something glowing and moving, which he still occasionally caught glimpses of. Though he was concerned that the cobra was no longer with him he figured since they were in the factory it wasn't like Raven would allow anything to happen to him.

In the end his curiosity won out and he continued to push his way through the bushes to find where the source of the glowing movement came from. Every time he thought that he was getting closer to it the thing seemed to move back out of his line of sight. The fact it was being so evasive made Serathin wonder even more what it could have possibly been as he continued to push through the underbrush. Finally it appeared his chase was about to be at an end as he saw the blue light growing brighter, pushing through the last bit of synthetic foliage before coming face to face with what he had been chasing.

"Amazing..." Serathin said as he was surrounded by thick rubber plant vines, the glowing coming from bright blue sacs that hung from leaves that hung from the appendages. "I've never seen anything like this before, how did Raven manage to manufacture something like that?" As he went to touch one of the small pods his eyes widened slightly as it broke under the slightest pressure, covering his fingers with glowing, neon blue goo. "Oh... whoops..."

Before Serathin could put his hand away the vine seemed to shift and brush more of the leaf against him, covering all his fingers and the back of his hand in the substance before he was able to back off. When he looked down at his hand he saw that it was definitely some sort of rubber liquid which began to spread over his scales. He watched in shock as the shiny glowing latex defined gravity to go up his arm, pushing its way over the fur up past his wrist. He was so enraptured by the sight he failed to notice that the other vines had stared to slither forward, their own leaves growing bigger as the gel bulbs that grew from them began to pulsate.

The first one took Serathin by surprise and the hybrid yelped as it went straight for his throat, wrapping around it several times as his hands darted up to try and stop it. When he did two other vines quickly darted forward like snakes and got around his wrists, coiling around them and constricting until they were bound together. He tried to wiggle his way out but with the nest of them all over the place it was like trying to get out of a mess of rope that happened to be animated. The entire time those leaves continued to brush up against his fur and burst the gel rubber pods against him, the gooey substance starting to spread more quickly with every leaf that was slapped against his body. Even when he managed to get one off of him the imprint remained as the liquid oozed over him.

It didn't take long for his toned form to start dripping in the rubber, especially when the vines lifted him off the ground while he felt them continue to coil around his limbs. He found his legs get spread open as the vine that had formed a collar around his neck began to slither further up until the tip of it entered into his field of vision. Serathin just stared at it for a second before the end of the rubber vine swelled and burst open, revealing several smaller ones that quickly wrapped around his muzzle and even his saber teeth. Until that point his head had remained relatively uncovered, but that quickly changed as several leaves grew out of the tiny vines and brushed their latex gel sacks against him.

As the goo began to suffuse into his body Serathin began to feel... giddy, like he had one too many energy drinks as the rubber began to solidify. He would have attempted to groan had he been able to open his muzzle as the glowing neon formed into a seamless cat suit on him. As he began to feel the pleasure build from the synthetic substance tightening on his fur he tried to move his hands and legs again, only to have the vines on his body hold him in place with surprising strength. Soon there wasn't an inch of the draconic sabrewolf that hadn't been touched by the rubber on those leaves, even his eyes were completely coated which meant he missed the two vines slowly slithering towards the opposite ends of his body.

Even in the pleasurable haze coming from the entirety of his body he felt something beginning to stretch his maw, pushing open his lips and sliding down inside his throat. He could feel the goo that had already completely saturated his fur and scales, even his wings had gotten covered, slide down his throat too as it bulged outwards. The vines allowed his hands to go towards it as he reached up to his neck and felt it sliding impossibly deep while another vine coiled up his tail and made its way to his rear. The entire time the latex leaves continued to grow those glowing latex pods and coat the sabrewolf with it, though most of it was dripping off him now as the rubber already on his body had formed the thick glowing blue catsuit in its entirety.

The pleasure that Serathin was receiving was combined with whatever was laced in the sticky sap that was being fed to him to cause his mind to buzz, letting out a muffled groan as he vaguely felt something push into his own rear. Though he couldn't see what it was he had an idea it was the same thing that continued to wiggle around in his maw, his toes curling in pure bliss as his insides were spread open. A gurgle of pleasure escaped his mouth as the tip of the rubber vine pushed in until it hit his prostate, causing his encased cock to stretch against the rubber coating it. He hadn't even realized his member had been completely enveloped and as the plants stretched his legs they wiggled and slithered against his thighs and groin to stimulate him even further.

The hybrid's entire body tensed and squirmed as the vines continued to coil around him, distracting him as the two that were lodged in his tailhole and maw bulged at the bases. The leaves on the rubber tubes arched up and latched themselves against his rear and muzzle, suctioning to him and forming a seal as the increasing thickness began to make its way towards him. Even if Serathin had the faculties to see it heading towards him he was so awash in lust that he probably wouldn't have seen it. When they reached his mouth and tailhole his entire form trembled from the insertion, the vines that had wiggled their way completely inside his body providing a way for whatever was inside to get into him.

Serathin practically jumped forward as the first object slid into his maw and tailhole, stretching him open as he thrashed about in his restraints. He was so delirious with pleasure that he didn't even know what was happening as the bulge in the vine slid completely inside him just in time for a second swell in those rubber vines began to travel towards him. His rubber-covered body eventually went limp from the lust as he was fed several more times from both ends until he finally climaxed. When the hybrid's body surged with pleasure he seemed to catch the vines by surprise and dropped down to the ground with those that were inside him sliding out of his body as he suddenly regained clarity of mind.

Once his orgasm subsided he got up to his hands and feet and ran from the nest of vines, trying not to get hit by any low hanging latex leaves as he made his way back the way he had come. Eventually he was far enough away that the illumination of the vines was behind him, though it was hard to tell because the glow of the rubber on his body made it hard for him to realize how far away he had gotten. After he was sure that he was away it gave him a chance to look down at himself. Though the glow had started to fade the rubber was still an electric blue, hearing a slight squeaking as he ran his synthetically smooth hands along the similarly slick material on his entire body.

"Amazing..." Serathin said, slurring his words slightly as the haze of lust was still fogging his brain. "I should... find Tana and Raven... they should see this..."

About ten minutes later Tanakeah and Serathin had both managed to find their way back towards the entrance of the garden, not only finding each other but Raven as well. "Looks like you two have found something that suited you quite well," Raven stated as he watched the two rubber-suited creatures practically sauntering towards him. "Have you enjoyed yourselves so far?"

"It's been amazing," Tana replied, his fingers idly pressing against his stomach. "The mushrooms that I found wer... really fun." The cobra swayed slightly as the grin on his face continued to grow. "Does... my stomach look swollen to you... it feels bloated..."

"I'm glad that you enjoyed Tana," Raven stated, glossing over the last statement made as he saw the other male's fingers playing against the growing bulge on his otherwise flat, rubber-covered stomach. "Admittedly what you've both experienced is not the new product that I wanted to see in action that is about to come out soon. But I wanted to make sure that the integration was as natural as possible to make sure that when it's implemented in real time that it can be done stealthily, which appears to have been a success."

"You mean the vines that I was wrapped up in... weren't what you were trying to test?" Serathin said numbly, his recently uncovered eyes blinking as they continued to have their glassy appearance. "But if you weren't testing that, then what... where you testing? Also my insides feel strange too... like... wiggling..."

Tana looked over at the hybrid and saw that his face went from drunken lust to awe as his rubber arms went to his stomach, pressing against it as a dribble of glowing blue goo dripped from his maw. His eyes widened as the rubber of Serathin's suit began to bulge out, not just a bump or two but thick vein-like structures beginning to push out from his stomach and traveling up his chest. Just as he was about to ask his friend if he was alright his own hands went to his belly while he felt something begin to travel down his thighs and towards his knees. At first he thought it was just something sliding between his scales and the rubber suit, but as he watched tendrils begin to emerge and wrap around one another he could feel that wasn't the case.

"These... aren't just rubber suits, are they?" Tana asked as he felt the rubber tentacles wrapping around one another, pulling his legs together to the point where he had to brace himself in order to keep himself from falling on his face. "My insides... they're changing..."

"Indeed they are," Raven responded as Tana's legs continued to get pulled together by the rubber sliding around one another, the cobra becoming even more aroused from the feel of the latex rubbing against itself as it began to knit together. "Recently I've been seeing applications for those, like yourselves, that wished to have a bit more of an intense experience then merely wearing some sort of rubber suit. The delivery system is that of the seeds that had been implanted into your bodies, and though you were infested first it appears your friend had gotten far more in him before he was released."

Tana looked over at Serathin as his normally green eyes began to take on a blue tint, the same color as the goo that was now leaking out of his ears, eyes, and nose as well as drooling thickly out of his maw. The vines that Tana had thought were originally just growing over his body had spread well over his chest, which swelled with new muscle. If the hybrid was aware of the vines covering him he wasn't showing it as the latex tentacles began to form visibly over his limbs next. The transforming sabrewolf began to grunt and snarl as the coiling appendages around his arms triggered their growth, biceps bulging underneath the intricate patterns forming as his thighs underwent the same thing. It reminded Tana of watching a werewolf under the full moon as he continued to grow, the hybrid clearly enjoying himself as his rubber encased member throbbed while it began to lengthen.

The cobra's attention was suddenly turned back to his own body as a spike of pleasure caused him to look down at himself. The merging of his lower body no longer was just refined to his legs, his tail getting dragged into by the mess of tentacles pulling them all together and forming into something new. When he tried to move his legs he found they no longer functioned in that manner, and as the latex around them continued to thicken and lengthen his entire lower body had become more serpentine in nature. The spores inside his body weren't just content to make him a naga though, Tana found himself groaning too as spots all down the back of his new body continued to inflate.

As the pleasure built in those spots Tana saw familiar structures rising out of them, the dark blue rubber that coated his scales turning translucent and different hues as they formed into spore pods. While they were similar to the ones on the mushrooms that had sprayed him in the first place he could sense that the bulges, each one a different color, had all different types of spores in them for different uses. He wasn't quite sure why that was or how he managed to figure out that information, though he had an idea it was from the germinating spores traveling up his chest after concentrating so much effort on the finishing touches of his lower body. As his stretched out feet and tail tip came together they formed into a bulb instead of just merging together into a traditional tail tip, the cobra letting out a rather large moan of bliss as it opened up to reveal an empty cavity save for about a dozen rubber tentacles that writhed about in the air.

As the rubber continued to shift and ripple over the changing cobra's body he could see that his own form had started to bulk up a bit as well. Unlike Serathin, who was turning into behemoth of a creature as his feet expanded and his thickening toes and fingers wiggled in a prehensile nature, Tana saw his body become more lithe as his plant-like features continued to sprout. The tendrils changing him continued to spread outwards and as he felt it reach his neck there was a greater change that had gotten his attention.

Tana let out a groan as he felt the rubber that had continued to suffuse through his groin had started to change, not only wiggling of its own accord but also starting to form creases. As the divots grew deeper the coloration of the latex, which had become a blue darker than his own scales, began to shift until it was a jungle green in nature. The plant naga let out a long, drawn out hiss of pure bliss as his cock split into several vine-like tentacles, forming into half a dozen of the writhing appendages as a vent formed around them. As each one rubbed against one another it was like the sensitive flesh was being stroked, and when his hands went down to try and draw out even more of the pleasure he found them wrapping around his fingers and wrists without his prompting.

A loud roar caused Tana to momentarily pull his attention off his still shifting body in order to look at his friend, though the creature he saw standing there was a far cry from the hybrid he knew. Most of the canine features had been assimilated by his rubbery transformation, save for his ears which maintained their canine configuration he had become mostly draconic in nature. The glowing blue latex body had been completely covered by black latex leaves that overlapped like scales, though the bright blue could be seen almost like a highlight of the lower parts. When he stretched the glowing neon could be seen underneath it as both the naga and bird saw the reason he was roaring in the first place.

The vines that had been encircling and spreading underneath the rubber leaves that covered his body had finally reached his head, bulging out his throat as they traveled up to his maw. Serathin's tongue had already started to stretch into a glowing blue plant vine but it was soon joined by several others that stretched out his maw as his head tilted completely back. As more of the plants spilled out from his mouth it looked like his draconic muzzle was going to split open... and then Tana's eyes opened in shock as it did. It quickly became apparent that it was intentional though as it split into quarters, the split on his muzzle growing until they were practically perpendicular to the rest of his head.

Just as Serathin's tail began to divide as well Tana felt his own changes starting to spread up past his own neck towards his head. The pleasure had also spiked as the rubber on his neck began to stretch, causing him to lose sight of the other creature whose vines had started to push out of his nostrils and ears. Soon all he could see though was dark blue as the latex continued to stretch and grow, tendrils forming into pedals as the thinning material turned from blue to a vibrant orange. There wasn't much that Tana could see after that as the rubber pressed against his head, practically suctioning to his face as he felt the synthetic substance that had already coated his head begin to melt and merge together...

Raven watched as the hands of the naga that went up to press against his flower covered head shifted into vines as well, the fingers stretching out into more orange petals capped on the end of them. More of the sticky-sweet sap that had been oozing out of his tail bulb leaked from the new appendages as the flower around his neck opened once more to reveal the a completely encased snake head. Even his muzzle was fully coated, stretching when it opened and closed as his need to take in oxygen became non-existent. The bird nodded slightly in approval as his gaze went from the spore-laden flower naga over to the vine-covered leaf dragon next to him.

Serathin's mouth vines had retracted into his maw, though the tips could still be seen wiggling around as his muzzle came back together until it was nearly seamless once again. When he had done so several larger leaves came up and wrapped around his head to form a mask that left only his eyes, which were glowing blue orbs just like the rest of his body, open so that we could see. As his tail whipped around behind him Raven observed that it had split into three, all of them wrapping around one another as those same blue pods that had been on the vines that changed him now grew on the underside of them. The avian watched as the two looked over each other as their changes finished up, completing their changes into rubber plant creatures.

When their transformations were complete the cobra and draconic sabrewolf that had entered the garden were gone, replaced with a rubber spore naga and latex vine dragon that stood in their place. "It appears that the experiment has been a rather astounding success," Raven said as he looked over his new creations, watching as the petals that covered the naga's face opened to reveal the rubber-covered head underneath. "I suppose it's time to talk about your payment now."

"Payment," Tana said, the rubber still covering his mouth moving with his lips. "Is what we have given you not enough for this?"

"Not in the slightest," Raven replied as he waved his wing and the guard that accompanied him put a set of tiny glasses on his face before putting a piece of paper in front of him. "You may have had enough for a suit on sale and the discount but this is brand new, state-of-the-art tech... now the fee you're getting for testing out my new process will certainly take a chunk out of your debt, but if you want to keep those new bodies then you're going to need a lot more to cover the costs. However, I didn't just bring you here to put you into debt, when I first saw you in my show room I looked the two of you up and I think that we can come to an arrangement that will be mutually beneficial."

"We're listening..." Serathin stated, his lower voice practically a growl as like Tana the leaves that formed the mask on his face stretched to accommodate his mouth movement.

"I have need of certain individuals that go out and find and capture others to be brought back to the factory for a variety of reasons," Raven explained. "It could be something as simple as they want to be brought here and paid for a pick-up, or perhaps they did something that warrants my personal attention on them. Either way with those new bodies of yours and that can-do attitude I think that you could collect those I need brought here who aren't so willing, and it shouldn't take you long to capture those that owe debts to me that yours will be cleared."

The Raven watched as the two rubber plant creatures looked at one another, the glowing eyes of the vine dragon staring into the rubber-covered ones of the naga. It appeared that part of the abilities gifted to them was a low-level telepathy they shared with one another as they continued to silently stare at one another. After about a minute the two looked back to the bird and gave him a nod, then accompanied him up into his office. There was a small stack of paperwork to be done in order to cement the terms of their new temporary employment under the wing of the Raven and the Factory, and once they were done with that the bird handed them another piece of paper that had a name and address on it...
